Zach turnes 5!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACHARY!

All the boys in the family got new white shirts for church so little Z got one too. Most of the time he would rather wear a polo shirt he is mister casual man.. I had to get a birthday photo on in he looked so cute in his white shirt and tie... His little friend Ellie even noticed how dapper he looked and said" Mom look Zach is wearing a tie".  How cute is that. After church Ellie and Ben (who we call by multiple names like "bellie and en" or "Benellie") came over to give Zach a b-day present. They had made him card and gave him candy and a dry-erase marker with dry-erase handwriting practice sheets. Wahoo! Know Zach can master his Surname now. What friends.

The Anderson's family Derek, Cassie, Katie and Joshy came over as well. They had picked out a really cool b-day present for Zach. A red Power Ranger guy with a Ranger car (or what ever it's called). He played with it all day by the way.

Spencer and Abbie had such a great idea to give Zachy his presents. They made a fishing pond. For every present he opened he had to fish for it.. How stinking clever.. They opened the French doors to the office and strung up a sheet and made a little sign that said "fishing pond". They re-strung the fishing pool that was in the mud-room with yarn and voila!  Andrew was the fisherman's assistant. What cool brothers and sister Zachy has to help make his day so fun. Zach pick out a "Power Ranger" motorcycle that came with three guys at the store and has been dyeing to play with it.. I also found other "Power Ranger" gifts on clearance on the Disney store on-line really cheep. The kids wrapped up thing that they had in there room that they though he might like to have.. Abbie gave his "Wilber the Pig" from "Charolett's Web".  Spencer gave him a little puppy that Zach named "Duddly".  Abbie also wrapped up 5 pennies. Zach love it.

Zach wanted me to make him a red "Power Ranger" cake but we have been under the weather and just dang busy around here so we talked him into warm brownies and ice cream. YUMMY!

I love this picture if Zachy because it's dark you can really see him and not have any distractions.. He was so excited to be sung too. He makes his daddy proud taking after his like that(bring attention to your birthday) In fact Zach told I think the whole ward that it was his b-day. He would see someone he knew and run up to them and say "Hey today is my birthday".

 We had combine primary today so we could practice for the primary program coming up so Zach got to stand up in front of all the kids and he was so proud of himself he was grinning from ear to ear. He thought it was so funny that they gave him a coupon to get a special treat from the bishop after church.. He was probably thinking I get one after church every week from dadda. But the birthday one is much bigger. He also got a small figurine of a little boy praying from the Primary which he was so excited to receive because big sister Abbie has one too. 

Is this so cute he shut his eyes to make a wish!  When Zach was all done blowing out the candled we asked what did you wish for? A Power Ranger". Go figure.. Oh when life was so simple. 

Happy Birthday little man.. We love you so much.
